HEAD OF FINANCE & STRATEGIC FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
Organic Liquid Fertilizer Producing PLCAbout This Role
This is a finance leadership role at an Ethiopian organic fertilizer company that is deliberately moving away from the traditional finance-manager mold. The position sits at the intersection of accounting rigor and business strategy, meaning the person hired will shape how the company funds, measures, and scales its growth rather than simply closing the books each month. It suits someone who wants to operate as a true business partner to leadership in a company with international ambitions.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The profile being sought is a finance professional who has already outgrown purely technical accounting work and is ready to own strategic decision-making. The emphasis on ERP systems, IFRS reporting, and audit readiness signals that the company needs someone to build financial infrastructure, not just maintain it. The seniority band suggests they want enough experience to command credibility with auditors and investors, but someone still hungry enough to build systems from the ground up.
How to Approach This Application
Lead with evidence of systems you have built or improved — ERP implementations, reporting frameworks, cash flow models — rather than listing qualifications. Because the company frames this as "not a conventional Finance Manager," demonstrate in your cover letter how you have influenced business decisions beyond the finance function. Show familiarity with the agricultural or manufacturing sector if you have it, and signal comfort with a company in transition.
Who This Role Suits
Best suited for a finance professional with 5–8 years of progressive experience who thrives in build-mode environments and wants strategic scope over routine reporting. Competition is likely moderate, but candidates who can clearly articulate a track record of building financial systems will stand out strongly.

- Experience in manufacturing, agribusiness, FMCG, industrial production or a growth company is highly desirable.
- Exposure to investment, fundraising, banking, strategic partnerships or international business is an advantage.
The Mindset We Want

- We want someone who can tell us:
- What is happening?
- Why is it happening?
- What will happen next?
- What will it mean for cash and profitability?
- What should management do now?
